I don't wanna take over your spaces, this world ain't yours neither mine.
I remember the times I've failed you when I ask who caused this pain.
I don't wanna be on the radio because my own voice makes me ache.
I don't wanna read up your columns, I don't wanna be like you at all.
I'm gonna build me a home just to keep my self safe, where the hills touch the skies and the stars always shine, and the stars always shine.
But the devil knocks on my door with every step that I take.
Today I'm having a breakdown, now can you please go away.
I promise I'll be good tomorrow, just one more chance is all it takes.
I don't wanna be living in fear, oh please oh please don't put me away.
Well I'm sure that you know just how much I can take; will you knock on my door? because today's such a good day; See, I'm falling apart and I don't want to run away. I think is time to let go, but, oh what a coward I have been, oh what a coward I have been.
I wanna swim in the ocean, and feel like I can fly...

The argument arises, Me and Myself said: I, are you not growing tired of staring at this lifeless walls. Because the universe is endless, and in the arms of galaxies there's another billion stars, there's a billion other stars...
Me and Myself said: I, we should go for a ride. Life's nothing but a foggy maze, and you'll run until you die.
Me thinks he's in charge and went along his way. He was looking for some gold, rushing through the maze. Carrying dreams of a vain life, but maybe he shall triumph where many had gone blind, where he's reason had gone mad. Now he's chocking and gasping. but maybe someday he will learn, maybe someday he will learn....
Myself went for a swim, but soon had gotten lost. He thought he was whatever that the ocean said he was, then he washed up breathless on a far way island, desperate and along. He feels trapped inside, and tries hard to blend in...
He pretty soon will fall, drowning in false pretense. With he's ear to the wall, the echoes gently said: You live like no one else my friend or just die like the rest. While the ocean's feeding nightmares to the Looking glass self, but maybe some day they will learn...

Proud is the child, he looks up to father who doesn't have much
and besides the struggles still holds him at night just to keep him warm.
Bitter is the youth and full of questions, our homes and hearts were instantly shattered the day we found out mom or dad was gone.
But who can I blame, who should I hate, maybe is no one's fault and we are not alone, this hole crazy puppet show is bigger than us.
But who should I hold entirely responsible, no one but me is what I had thought, on my shoulders rest the sound of this words...
Just for today, I walk alone, into the sun with only you by my side.
Hold on to your hearts because our minds deceive us and until that day smile politely and hide all your scars.
Tell me more lies, tell me "I hate you, tell me I'm ugly and that there's no love", sound very convincing, but I know is not so. Well I say "No Mas", I dictate my actions, this is my reaction! on your shoulders rest the sound of this words...
Die you selfish pig, oh die you self center, you self center dog. I think I had just about enough. Choke on this tears, tears and blood that I've shared over the years when you ran the show.

Everybody wants to have this things, this things that surround me; but this are the chains for my pride and shame. Run to the mountains, breathe under the sun. Cash in all your chips and then run, run run.

Insignificant Wonder

Breathe, because the air is free and things are not as bad as they seem.
Sing now, you can tame all the wolfs, I said sing, just to keep them away.
But the big one is at bay, the baddest of them all, only moves if he says so,
only moves when he says so...
Oh rescue me lord, because my legs are weak.
And is hard to see, so hard to see.
Set me free like the cool morning breeze, let me dance like waves of the sea. Hide when there's no where to run, insignificant wonder awaits your return. For the clock is ticking and one day she'll be gone.
And now she left, oh she left me all alone.
With scars on my soul, with scars on my soul.

A while ago, when I was young, I knew no pain or right from wrong. I lived a life under their care, and everybody was always there. One night I cried because they were gone, and all I heard was that what we had was not enough. And only the land of dreams will bring them back home...
They gave him tools, they gave him hope.
He knew some pleasures, thought he had it all.
He knew betrayal, then came back for more.
They took his freedom, oh they took it all.
And then he cried, he cried because he yearned to be back home, and there he sat, perplexed and all alone...
Moving Mountains with his thoughts! Moving mountains with his thoughts!
We thought we were alone, so insecure.
We sought refuge the best way we could.
We took a ride with the train of youth,on the rails of conflict.
It took us far away from home.
But the illusion didn't last long.
Beyond frontiers, there was no love.
I said beyond frontiers, there was no love.
And then I lost my head, I lost myself in Babylon. I dreamt of glory, I craved for lust, I bought the ticket and I was gone. Now here I am standing on my own...
Im moving Mountains with my thoughts! Moving Mountains with my thoughts!

No more low self-steem. there's rats egos to feed.
We find our own voices to redeem our deeds.
Slay the dragon if you want to, be the hero of the day!
No more time for fancy red carpets, remember to smile when it rains.
No need for supersonic rockets, instead lets cherish the earth.
He says... he says I'm in control, but who's in control, the ranting buffoons with their hands in our pockets, or the great thought dividers who helped lose our minds and turn man against man. The progressive false prophets and merchants of faith, or the TV assassins tuned in with the masses, they're doing their best just to keep you afraid. They promote our destruction and blindfolded we stand, blindfolded we stand.
Like gutter rats we crawl, and always the cat's on our tail.
He says that he is our friend. lets gather and call out this madness.
Lets ride on the blue whale.
We'll be our heroes because we have no friends. We're contempt and slightly misguided, but rejoice on the fact this will end, yes it will end!
But wait.. just wait, lets all have a gun! what can go wrong? We're building a new world no matter the cost, and although war is appalling, all the bombs must keep falling, and falling, and falling; where once there was trees (peace) now there's only ashes, oooh they feed our delusions while turning a profit.

ooh ooh ooh wake up, rise up beautiful children.
Wake u, rise up beautiful children.
dry up your tears, face all your fears.
All is not lost, there's still hope.
I know the wolf will try to hurt you.
I know the wolf will try to hurt you.
Don't be afraid because God will protect you.
